WASHINGTON, DC —Alexcia Chambers, a 2013 participant on the American Hellenic Institute Foundation (AHIF) Student Foreign Policy Trip to Greece and Cyprus, interviewed Nikos Christodoulides, spokesman for the Government of the Republic of Cyprus, for the global affairs magazine, Diplomatic Courier. The interview, “Cyprus: The Original Russia-Crimea Debacle,” appeared in the September 11, 2014 issue.

“We are excited that the interest and enthusiasm Alexcia gained as a participant of our study abroad program has carried over and she has taken it to the next level as a correspondent for the highly reputable publication, Diplomatic Courier, and as an author on the subject,” AHI President Nick Larigakis said. “We look forward to providing many more students, like Alexcia, with the same opportunity to experience and learn more about the history and politics of the eastern Mediterranean region.”

Her enthusiasm does not stop with just one interview. Chambers has plans to publish an e-book about recent developments with the Cyprus issue in the near future.

“We are proud of Alexcia’s efforts, and we look forward to the release of her e-book,” Larigakis added.

Chambers is studying International Relations at The College of William & Mary, where she serves as the Secretary General of MUN III, William & Mary’s intercollegiate Model United Nations Conference.

The American Hellenic Institute is a non-profit Greek American think-tank and public policy center that works to strengthen relations between the United States and Greece and Cyprus, and within the Greek American community.
